Purpose: To evaluate the minimum 12-month clinical and radiological outcomes of combined superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) and lower trapezius transfer (LTT) for posterosuperior irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs).
Methods: Patients with posterosuperior IMRCTs and severe fatty infiltration (Goutallier grades 3 or more) in the infraspinatus who underwent SCR +LTT were retrospectively reviewed. A double-folded fascia lata autograft with one layer of polypropylene mesh inside was used for SCR and an Achilles tendon allograft was used to connect the tendon of lower trapezius to the greater tuberosity.

Background: Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) augmentation is a viable treatment option for massive reparable cuff tears. This study aimed to retrospectively compare clinical and imaging outcomes of patients with reparable massive rotator cuff tears after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) with those after SCR augmentation using a semitendinosus autograft.
Methods: We retrospectively compared 50 patients with massive reparable rotator cuff tears who underwent ARCR and SCR augmentation (n = 25 each).

Department of Orthopedics, the Affiliated Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo University, Ningbo City, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:
Purpose: To report the results of the arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (ASCR) technique with a combined fascia lata autograft and synthetic scaffold patch graft for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs).
Methods: The period for this retrospective study was between December 2016 and December 2020. The criteria for inclusion were patients treated arthroscopically for an incompletely repaired massive RCT (dimension >5 cm and 2 tendons fully torn, intact or reparable subscapularis tendons and teres minor tendon with or without irreparable infraspinatus, a radiological Hamada classification between grade 0 and 4, and a minimum 24-month postoperative follow-up).

Aims: The aim of this study is to provide a detailed description of cases combining bridging patch repair with artificial ligament "internal brace" reinforcement to treat irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, and report the preliminary results.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears undergoing fascia lata autograft bridging repair with artificial ligament "internal brace" reinforcement technique between January 2017 and May 2018. Inclusion criteria were: patients treated arthroscopically for an incompletely reparable massive rotator cuff tear (dimension > 5 cm or two tendons fully torn), stage 0 to 4 supraspinatus fatty degeneration on MRI according to the Goutallier grading system, and an intact or reparable infraspinatus and/or subscapularis tendon of radiological classification Hamada 0 to 4.
